  Notes	The paternity of Martha's first 5 children is unknown, no birth records exist for these people. When she married William Lush in 1897, it appears that all her children took his surname. All records after this date indicate their name as Lush. Descendants of Maud have no DNA connection to any Lush family so we know he was not her father.
